Bob Will has been narrowly beaten in both starts over fences, only going down by a short-head to Bennynthejets over this trip at Market Rasen 10 days ago. Don Castille also ran a nice race at Market Rasen last month and has scope for improvement but we'll take a chance on ICY COLT. Paul Webber's five-year-old won a hurdle over C&D in October last year and is sure to have plenty of schooling over the larger obstacles. Barron Watless is also jumping fences for the first time but has been well below par recently.
